IDA BowMANs CLAIM FOR REGAINTNG HER FREE
DoM-A WASHINGTON woNANs wTIEs.
Mrs. Ida N. Bowman, in Chicago, Tuesday began
suit for o divorce from her husband, Frank J. Bow
man, a we-known 81. Louis lawyer. The couple
were married In Chicago June 27th last. and for q
time lived Ia nat in Webster avenue. On Sep
tember 5th Mrs. Bowman left her husband and
most OF the time since has lived with friends In
Chicago. She says that soon after the marriage
Bowman began a life OF profiigacy, often spending
days and nights away from his home In the COM
pany OF idle and vicious persons OF the female sex,
and has both In st. Louis and Chicago been guilty
OF infdelity She further represents that I'm wash.
ington, during the months OF July and August,
last the defendant mad, the acquaintance and
established an Improper intimacy with q young
woman. Bowman, she claims, is q man OF low
and vicious habits. According 10 her statement, he
has an income from his practice OF $4,000 year,
and owns considerable valuable property as well.
friend OF Mrs Bowman Tells this story Of the
relations between the lawyer and his wife: Bow
man was already married man when he made
the acquaintance OF the plaintiff, then girl about
10 and very pretty: She says that intimate rela.
lions sprang up between herself and Bowman be-
fore she learned that he was married already.
Then he told her that he was about 10 get divorce
from his wife and marry her. In June, 1856, he
filed bill for divorce against his first wife. Sne
filed a cross bill, and upon that she was granted a
divorce Before the trial he sent the present plain
tin TO Chicago Ia order TO avoid any scandal that
might come out during the hearing OF the case.
Here he introduced her TO his friends his wife.
In June, 1886, he came TO Chicago and said he had
obtained his divorce and was about TO carry out
his promise. They then entered into what is called
a common law marriage, she refusing TO have
anything more 10 do with him except as his WIFE, He
came back and forward on visits TO the plaintiff
until September, at which time the visits ceased
altogether. She afterward ascertaned, so she
claims. the acts OF in1delity complained OF and
brought this bill for divorce, not alone 10 obtain
legal separation from the defendant but TO estsb-
nsh her reputation as his lawful vile.

In MS report to the Engineer Commissioner

can only be laid upon petition signed by the
owners OF the property fronting on the street,

Inc commissioners have nc discretion in the mat

Another case Is where public hydrant has been
erected by running small pipe into the middle of
square; The people Of the square there getting

improvement by refusing to sign the required Pc
t1tion when somebody wishes to build houses and

unpleasant way. The law, Capt. Symons says is
UBIQUITOUS from purely business standpoint. The
mains wherever there is demand therefor and a
reasonable belief that the amount of water rents

A BILL TO DRIVE THE PROSECUTING ELDERS AWAY.
A telegram from Nashville, Tenn, January ii,
says: Reports come from the eastern portion Of
the state that Mormon missionaries are at work In
that section and are gaining many converts. Two
years ago the enraged citizens or Lewis county at
tackled three elders while they were conducting
services On cane creek and shot two OF them dead,
the third narrowly escaping. The legislature sub
SeQuently passed a law making IL felony 70
preach the doctrine OF pOygamy, the punishment
being fixed at two years Imprisonment and a fine
OF $500. Notwithstanding this law, agents OF the
Mormon church are now, and have been Tor some
time, engaged In making known It's doctrines 10
the ignorant classes In the mountain districts
Senator Simerly, who has seen the evil effects Of
the labor OF these emissar1es, to-day introduced
In the senate bill TO punish them. The bill
makes IL unlawful for any person To teach or pro-
mitigate polygamous doctrine, publicly or pri-
vaJely, or TO bring into the state any books or
papers advocating the same Any person yfoiat-
Ing the provisions of this bill shall, conviction,
be confined at hard labor In the penitentiary Tor
not less than three nor more than eight years.
Mr. Simerly states that a convert recently died In
his county. daughter OF the deceased was bap-
tized according TO the Mormon formula as proxy
for her father, who wished 10 be baptized, but
died before the ceremony could be performed
Other remarkable instances were related by the
senator. several missionaries have been in
dicted, but forfeited their bonds fearing the re-
suit Of trial.
